David Leckie is a highly-experienced couple counsellor and FMC accredited Family Mediator. Having witnessed many examples of bitter and acrimonious divorces in the UK and having seen the negative effect this can have on families in the long term, David was intrigued to hear about DivorceHotel when some Dutch friends of his told him about their experience of the service in the Netherlands. Hearing about the positivity of the concept, David determined to bring the concept to the UK and, together with DivorceHotel’s lead UK lawyer, Clare Thornton, he successfully launched the first hotel in York in March 2017.
As well as being DivorceHotel’s UK Country Manager, David is an experienced radio broadcaster and newspaper columnist – in this blog he writes about divorce and how best to ensure that it is as positive an experience as it can be. If you have any questions for David, please send him an email!
